NethSecurity Install on Proxmox shield (doc error)

Hi NethSecurity,

Installation — NethSecurity documentation.

By default, the network configuration will be as follows:

  • The LAN interface will be configured with a static IP address of 192.168.1.1.
  • The WAN interface will be configured to use DHCP to obtain an IP address from your ISP.

Developers assume that testers will plug their test server directly into the internet because they also assume that you have more than one public IP address.

In reality, an ordinary tester has only one public IP address and he first checks on a virtual machine on his private network.

That is why the NethSecurity LAN interface will not have an IP address because, in the majority of cases, 192.168.1.1 is already taken by the main server.

P.S.
The NethSecurity makes the same assumption for Let’s Encrypt certificate and that is why I wrote that the package acme-dnsapi is missing… NethSecurity / Is there a Let's Encrypt possibility? - #5 by michelandre.

P.P.S.
Same assumption for NS8b.

Again: Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum
